HoopsVibe's Call: Just when Randolph thought he was out, The Hoop Posse pulls him back into the headlines.

The veteran supposedly cut ties with his old entourage that was notorious for breaking the law. And this was why Randolph supposedly had such a banner campaign for Memphis: posting 20-10 numbers, making the Western Conference All-Star team, and helping the Grizzlies crawl closer and closer to respectability.

Apparently not.

To be fair, Randolph isn't yet guilty of anything except poor judgement. But it's never wise to lend/give a friend your car, who happens to roll with three ounces of the 'icky-icky'.

Randolph, it seems, isn't quite out The Hoop Posse. However, he may want to re-think this relationship, especially heading into a contract year.
